• JoJo's Biscuits and Family Traditions

    When I heard Joanna Gaines was coming out with a cookbook, the first thing I wanted to try was her biscuits. I knew they were going to be in the book after reading about how much her family loved these biscuits.

The best feature of the Oxford Suites is the free breakfast. Now, this isn’t your typical “hot breakfast” that consists of some day-old toast and a sketchy pre-cooked omelet. Nay!
